[Re-Revised] TC:NOVA Wipe Proposal

[salem]

Yes wipe

[SpoytoR]

If wipe would really help the server, I say YES, wipe it.

[carlossanchez1980]

I think that the object and credits wipe would be great, but unless you can upgrade some of the "work in progress" professions this wipe will only paliate for some time the unbalanced economy. When BE, DE, Arch, housing, factory crating, etc... get avaliable the real "community" economy will start to rise. In my oppinion, this only benefits casual players, that (still an oppinion) don't benefit the real testing just the server stress.

In other hand any staff member can /examine my account to see that i don't have high amounts of money, in fact i didn't ever had more than 200k, but i've spent a lot of time setting up some services, that i think really help testing. Doctor, dancer/musician, I/D, resource sampling for my WS, in order to make some weapons, etc... I don't look for being a Jedi, i only want to stablish for me a well rounded self sufficent economy.

Wipe the bazaar, set down the "ubber" high weapon drop rate and calm the thousands of wannabejedi till the OR. But don't wipe skills.

Unless new features are to be added I cannot see the benefit of wiping the server (duped credits and some haked weapons are not reason enough in my eyes) but can certainly see that a few people might well say that if this has happened once it will happen again and decide not to play until Suncrusher is launched.

If the causes are know then certainly impliment a fix if possible but I do not see the solution to item issues / credit dupes as a server wipe. I can only speak personally but if the server is wiped without new features added as a result I would have to strongly consider if I will continue at this point, im probably not the only one thinking this.

However, it probably all comes down to when the OR will be finished. If the OR is say 3 months away and you are going to wipe the server now and then again for OR in 3 months then definatly dont do it but if the OR is 18months away then this is a different story.

ok this is my oppinion on the controverse matter wich is a server wipe just before OR.
There are two types of ppl talking here..well 3 but the third grp does not apply to what im about to say.

1st- u have your NO grp- they rely on several issues BUT the one they most tresure, wich is loosing either jedi/imba market magnat/imba weapon drops...etc..no these guys try to threat DEVS by the sheer prospect of loosing 40% of their "customers" wich in my math 1000 players i seen logging, im glad 400 of you nabs are gone, other salvage boat the NO ppl have is the OR, claiming its not worth it before the OR itself happens, and this NO grp list goes on and on...honestly i have no sympathy for ppl that deflect their true motives almost randomly to achiev their own goals, and i have NO patience to pretend otherwise

2nd- the YES grp - well the pool says for it self these will sacrifice everything they achieved, ither little or much in order to come to a balanced gameplay wich does not happen as im typing this post
I myself im not a hypocrit for i achieved much in the 1 month im playing but the prospective of having a temporary balance is good enough for me.

3rd grp- simply ppl that dont care

oh and by the way im not of english speaking contry so bear with me,in fact if u could speak my language as well i can speak yours, you should be most pleased

RESET SERVER for it is a test server and as the name indicates ITS FOR TESTING, not threatning devs with possible(and unlikely) repercussions of a server reset..more good will come than harm that im sure.

thx for reading

[Letesh]

Change we can believe in? Ive heard that before....

[RegularJohn]

Wipe it. This is a TC after all, and people needs to get somewhat used to wipes. Plus that it will be a fresh, new and better player environment which will keep people busy until the OR. Other than that I dont really have any good pro-wipe arguments, apart from my gut feeling that says it's a wise choice.

[Z Ray]

Yeah i am sure tons of people are reading your 2 page posts.

1. TC should be wiped at least once a month to prevent over-tardage.

2. People will play this game when its done no matter how many times its wiped.

3. Exploits are what makes the TC fun and its better people are doing them now so that there is time to fix before 1.0 and limit the exploits then. I for one love to have fun with exploits that are on the TC, will I do it on 1.0? No.

[Horge]

/quit till OR.. i get on like a week ago, once it all seems like theres no wipe in the immediate future. Grind my ass off. make some money. and now its a wipe. I'm over it. And if the OR takes another year.. ill probably be over it too.. :/

[Ursus]

We all knew a wipe was comming. It doesnt effect me either way really, as my enjoyment comes from playing the game, not being the uber smack talker. I voted no though, because you're treating the symptons, not the disease. Cheaters are the real issue here, and until dupers/hackers/cheaters are delt with, new illness will occur with this TC.

[Snowtigre]

Well the theroy goes that all the people who say no are either People With Jedi's or they have duped Credit's and don't know how to grind Real money..



Waahaaa.... I'm going to Lose my JEDI...

Waahaaaaaa... I'm going to lose all my Duped Money...

ROLF...

Wipe the system Please...

that is extremely callous and will say a theory that is a relevant as the one stating that the earth is flat.

I voted yes.. but I know that many in my guild will vote no.. No Jedi, No massive amounts of credits or uber leet gear/weapons to cause them to vote this way.. They just want the wipe to be a wipe to mean something.

Just remember the first three letter in ASSUME are usual a good verbal representation of the one who is doing the assuming.

I have a valid point for voting to wipe. But let me preface my remarks by saying that I honestly would be just fine whether it's wiped or not, I only hope that if it does happen it's soon.

My point is that I believe there is an overabundance of dot weapons. It wasn't like that on live and I feel that is just a flaw in the loot tables. I believe there would be alot more pvp if they do infact fix issues with the loot tables like they are suggesting.

Spun, excellent point. I too, think that DOT weapons are OP for the most part but honestly do you think a full wipe is required to fix that problem?

If it was just to fix that one issue then I would say no. I don't really know the extent of the exploiting and duping but it is severe enough that we're all here now in this thread. If they fix the drop rate of dot weapons and take jedi off easy mode then I'm all for that and I think that could only be implemented with a wipe. Even if those are the only substantial changes we get until the OR I'd be happy with it.
